DIR. Short having been intimately
acquainted with his bride of to-day, as
also with her sisters, Mrs. Joseph Ran

were mere lad and lasses, but whose
paths in life by force of every day
circumstances drifted apart. Some
months ago the Doctor, who has been
previously married but had lost his
wife, came to Emporia and here met
Miss Watson, whom he had not met
for years. 1t is presumed all his old
boyish admiration for the girl, was
again developed by the womanly
woman whom so many of our citizens
know only to respect, admire and love.
Anyhow it was soon whispered among
her friends and relatives that Mary
Jane was soon to be married, and
Thursday verified the predictions.
DIR. Short is well-to-do practicing
physician in Trenton, Mo-, where his
family reside, and where he started for
Thursday at noon, accompanied by
his bride.
